One of the best experiences of this year’s Hugo Awards could be discovering the writing of Kary English. The three short stories she has in her John W. Campbell nomination packet are all incredible. I don’t know that I’ll get to a profile like this for all the nominees, but I have a few I’d […]

The Beam Season 1 (Review) left me with multiple reasons to be excited for Season 2, and a couple lingering worries. I was mostly excited to see the story continue to explore the development of the Beam technology. The best thing Platt and Truant are doing in this series is showing a plausible future affected […]

J.L. Bourne is back with a new novel not set in the zombie universe of Day by Day Armageddon. In this adventure, he tells the story of society’s collapse and one hero’s attempt to fight the tyrants that take over. We don’t have zombies in this one; instead, we have a combination of politics, inflation, […]

What kind of adventure could come from a security guard staring at monitors all day? The main character of my newest story, “Staring Into,” would say not much at all, until the day before his girlfriend’s funeral, his barber notices a new scar on the back of his neck.

And that’s exactly how Mike likes it. Sure, the life he’s chosen isn’t much of a challenge to someone with his unique gifts, but he’s content […]

I’m over at New Authors Fellowship discussing the reaction to the setting at the beginning of my novel, Scavenger: Evolution, taking place in a brothel. For some, this is no big deal, and the post goes on beyond that to share the heart of my hero’s struggle. He has lost his son and cannot face […]

I’ve returned with my first podcast interview since I retired last summer. David Wellington is a brilliant writer and his new novel, Positive, was a breath of fresh air for this fan of zombie novels. On top of this interview, I’m running a giveaway for a signed paperback, an ebook, and an audiobook of my […]

Has anyone here heard of the Apocalypse Weird endeavor? It’s essentially a Marvel type world for book lovers. They put out a book every other week, and all of them explore some strange apocalyptical event on the locale each book focuses on, yet somehow they are all set within the same world. You don’t have […]
